[Congratulations, Host, on winning White-Grade System Component Package x100!]
[Details: Has everything you need to assemble your own System.]
The reason why Deculein was so happy is because in the insights of the great dao of code he obtained, it mentioned that everything made by the Great Dao of Code, when used, provides corresponding feedback to the original creator!
Naturally, it's only a portion.
Otherwise, when would the next feedback come? You have to let the chicken lay eggs, not kill the chicken. A long-term gain is naturally better than a short-term one.
"Heheheh! If I make a System, and if the System Host advances in cultivation, I naturally gain a portion of the cultivation too!" Deculein seemed to think of the day he climbed to the peak of the world, overlooking all beings under heaven.
And of course, a beautiful woman by his side. Preferably one with sharp curves.
But for now, he can only make do with what he has first. "Well then, it's time to make my first slave—bah, my first system!"
"System, open one package!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on gaining:]
[White-Grade System Frame! x1]
[White-Grade Child Sub-Node! x12]
[White-Grade Processing Crystal! x3]
[White-Grade Stability Gear! x3]
[White-Grade Spiritual Qi Source! x1]
[White-Grade Assimilation Engine! x1]
[White-Grade Meridian Network! x1]
[20 more components omitted....]
Deculein stretched his hands and forearms while getting ready. "As for why I'm not cultivating myself? What a joke! Since I can be a salted fish while also gaining cultivation, why would i tire myself out for nothing?"
He sat on the ground and meditated to clear his mind. After a while, he was finally ready.
He sensed the Dao of Code he comprehended and tried to manifest it in his sea of consciousness. "Let's see.. is it like this? No... again... it should manifest now... Still nothing?" Deculein frowned slightly as he watched his failures over and over again.
"What am I missing? To summon it into reality... Wait! That's right! From illusory to reality, reality to illusory!"
After the hardest part of manifesting it into reality, the next steps were remarkably smooth. It was comparable to a light bulb turning on in Deculein's mind after that.
He was focused on his sea of consciousness, where a series of incomprehensible numbers resided. "This is the Great Dao of Code? How overbearing! Just watching it makes my eyelids heavy!"
"The first step is inputting the system frame as the main interface, where all components are gathered." He acted immediately, putting the white-grade system frame into the middle of the area where the Dao of Code resided.
"Then, constructing sub-nodes... 12 of them." His mind was filled with almost-infinite calculations and algorithms which were supported by his unlimited mental capacity talent and the heavenly mystery calculation—a deduction technique gained from the Dao of Code's insights.
"Done! 12 sub-nodes to hold the Spiritual Qi. The output exceeds what the system frame can hold, so 3 processing crystals and stability gears are next.... Finished! Then the spiritual qi source, assimilation engine, and meridian network...."
At that moment, if anyone were to observe Deculein's body up close, they would notice his entire body had turned transparent and ethereal!
Flowing from his body were countless incomprehensible black-green codes representing the pattern "010101010."
His body was clouded by numbers, his entire presence seemed to contain every heavenly secret. Naturally, this was the Great Dao of Code's aura.
"Whoosh," Deculein opened his eyes, his gaze cold and emotionless, like the high and mighty, heartless Heavenly Dao.
Deep in his eyes, countless worlds were being born and destroyed, and the evolutionary trajectories of the Three Thousand Great Daos were also circulating within.
His entire aura was equally cold and heartless, carrying the majesty of the Heavenly Dao.
"Assimilation engine, meridian network, and spiritual qi source are established now." Deculein thought as he opened his eyes, his gaze still emotionless.
"Hiss! What's happening to my body?!" Deculein realized what happened. He panicked instantly and urgently stopped his calculations. "I was influenced by the Dao of Code's presence? This is terrifying!"
Cold sweat seemed to drip down his back, soaking down his shirt. At that moment, he was truly terrified!
"There's actually such a side effect? If I keep calculating like this, I'll end up becoming a pawn of the Heavenly Dao Instead!" Deculein furrowed his brows as he thought of a countermeasure.
"Let me try this!" Deculein suddenly started assimilating with the Dao of Code again—but this time, it lasted for a very short time. "It worked, I wasn't influenced! So I just need to keep it short each time?"
"Whoosh!" His entire body was flickering from transparent to solid, from illusory to reality, and from reality to illusory over and over again!
Then he started calculating again!
"It works, so I'll just do it like this!"
"Almost done.. Finished! The internal components are complete, so now I need a server to hold them!" He took the half-complete system into his inventory—a feature of his Primordial Origin System.
"I can still control my physical body normally on the surface while simultaneously deducing and running countless algorithms and doing mental calculations at the same time. My talent really is terrifying!"
"Haha, the system truly gives out high-quality goods!"
